Ready by Jason Culp
3 Hours on 3 CDs

With more than 120 titles still in print, Louis L'Amour is recognized the world over as one of the most prolific and popular American authors in history. Though he met with phenomenal success in every genre he tried, the form that put him on the map was the short story. Now this great writer--who the Wall Street Journal recently compared with Jack London and Robert Louis Stevenson--will receive his due as a great storyteller. This volume kicks off a series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amour's short fiction, volume by handsome volume.

Here, are selected stories from Volume TWO, a treasure-trove of frontier tales for his millions of fans and for those who have yet to discover L'Amour's thrilling prose--and his vital role in capturing the spirit of the Old West for generations to come.

These frontier tales go far beyond the typical western to embrace the universal themes of heroism, honor, sacrifice and survival that L'Amour made uniquely his own. Included in these selections are What Gold Does to a Man, The Ghosts of Buckskin Run, No Man's Mesa, and The Drift. From adventures in individual courage to the stories that make men legends, and dramatic moments of truth that can change a life . . . or end it in a heartbeat, these are stories that capture men and women at the crossroads of friendship and betrayal - stories that are a true celebration of the American West.
